Diffusing the Hot-Button Issue of Child Custody

When parents disagree on child custody or visitation, they need reasoned legal help to ensure that the divorce decree serves the child, not heated emotions. We are strong advocates of protecting the best interests of your children.

The Best Interests of the Child Standard

When negotiating child custody agreements with the other side, we keep in mind the basic concept of what is best for the kids. Please see the child custody worksheet for further information on our considerations.

Joint physical custody may work well when both parents can cooperate. Joint legal custody involves both parents sharing health, education and religious upbringing decisions. Flexible visitation may serve the needs of children if parents can cooperate. Otherwise it is better to seek a fixed visitation agreement. We can help you determine all of these issues and devise a legal strategy that works best for the family.

Common Sense Works

Child custody matters can be very emotional. Our lawyers leverage our diplomatic skills, an ability to stay calm, and our negotiating prowess with opposing counsel and with our own clients to achieve a fair resolution. This promotes balanced decisions and successful outcomes.
